GOAL! 46lbs lost, no more pouch! Pics...

curleesam

I finally hit my pre pregnancy weight last week and promised I would upload some updated pictures. I am sorry I really couldnt bring myself to do the obligatory bikini/underwear shots so you have gymwear shots (this is a fitness site after all!)

I wont give you the loooonnnng story but I will say that I have never been fat or overweight so after the birth of my daughter I was very disappointed to learn I had 45lbs to lose... My confidence was very low, I had a tummy pouch and I thought I would never fit into my old wardrobe yet 6 months later here I am. I am so pleased but man was it hard work!!

I am now striving towards my ultimate goal of 161lbs.

Thanks to all my pals on here, you have helped loads and loads but I must admit it probably has a little bit to do with my competitive nature...LOL

Good luck everyone!

P.S - I swear you need a degree to get this photo thing to work....!!! For the life of me I cannot resize the 4th and 6th pictures so that you can see a full frame. D'oh!


Three days after I gave birth and 220lbs



I think this one was around January time when I was around 200lbs




About a month later I had lost a further 8-10lbs I think


And today... last weighed a week ago at 174lbs





the pouch is gone!


and a face shot!

Yes the dreaded pouch...! I hated that thing! I just did lots and lots of cardio...was doing 1 hour for 5-6 times a week in the beginning then in the last month or so I do more crunches, reverse crunches and planks. It is really those that have helped with the definition but the cardio got the fat off.

It can be done!

p.s I should probably give a shout out to my supportive hubby as well who encouraged me to gym on the days I didnt feel like it and stayed at home with our daughter after a long day at work while I gymmed almost every day.

Well done you x You look fab

I had my 3rd baby 6 months ago now and i've still got i long way to go to find my figure (i know its in here somewhere! lol) My profile pic is where i'm trying to get back to

Because this one doesn't sleep well, and i'm still breast feeding, I 've only been trying properly for the last month or so. I know i'll get there slowly but surely. Eating properly and exercising cardio+strength is hard!

All the more credit to you!

blueasha

Just WOW! You look amazing!

As a Mum of three I had resigned myself to never losing the dreaded 'flap' but you've shown that it can be done! I shall continue with my nasty belly blaster DVD with renewed vigour!

Thanks so much for sharing!

HOW DO I GET RID OF BELLY FAT?

HOW DO I GET RID OF BELLY FAT?

Lots and lots of cardio worked for me. I would say in the beginning I did 95% cardio and 5% strength training. Now I try to do 50-50 of each. But I had a lot to lose. The toning exercises that worked for me are reverse crunches, crunches and planks. I have also heard reducing processed sugar helps and I did completely cut that out in the beginning. I now allow myself a little bit.

I'd be interested to know what your diet was like and how long it took in total.

Congratulations on achieving your goals so far and continued success.

Thanks!

It took me 6 months in total to lose. At the start my diet was strict so lots of soups and salads and oatcakes with one treat night once a week. Now I am closer to my ultimate goal I pretty much eat everything I want in moderation except deep fried food. My diary is open so feel free to have a look x
